Default New name for an old forum member...

... IceBlue8 is now The_Laird!

I always thought Neil's nickname was funny and, as I don't have a blue '8 anymore, Ian changed my name for me (and before Neil says it, yes, it is nice to have someone to do things for you!)

Me and David are resigned to walking some yards behind him, carrying his bags, with much tugging of the forelock, touching the hem of his garment etc, think its me who is turning his bed down before he retires for the evening, but poor David is the one who has to bathe him
